The bride and groom had asked their guests to contribute a substantial amount of money to cover the expenses of their wedding.

However, only eight guests RSVP'd and made the payment, leaving the couple disappointed and enraged by the lack of support.

It is understandable that in today's world, with the rising cost of living, asking guests to pay such a hefty sum to attend a wedding would be met with resistance. 

Most people simply do not have $1200 lying around to spend on someone else's special day.

The couple's expectation of their guests to foot the bill for their extravagant wedding seemed unreasonable and out of touch with reality.

In a public statement on social media, the bride, named Susan, expressed her sadness and announced the cancellation of the wedding. 

She attributed the breakup of their relationship to recent and irreparable problems, making it clear that they would not proceed with any future plans.

Despite the negative response from the guests, the bride remained unapologetic about her demand for cash gifts.

She defended her decision, stating that they had sacrificed so much for their dream wedding and needed proper funding to make it happen. 

She mentioned that some close friends and family had generously contributed large sums, further justifying her expectation for others to follow suit.

Interestingly, the couple's decision to have an extravagant wedding was influenced by a psychic's recommendation. 

They believed that their love story resembled a fairytale and thus opted for the most expensive options available.
